Impulse-induced liquid jets from bubbles with arbitrary contact angles

Hiroyuki Miyoshi, Hiroya Watanabe, Ishin Kikuchi +1

This paper investigates the relationship between the contact angle of a spherical bubble attached to a tube submerged in a container and the jet speed induced by an impulsive accel…

Impact-induced viscoelastic bungee-jumper jets with uniform extension and stress

Kyota Kamamoto, Asuka Hosokawa, Yoshiyuki Tagawa

We investigate the dynamics of a "bungee-jumper" jet induced by an impulsive force, which retracts after reaching its peak extension. Despite the strongly extensional and highly no…

Granular focused jet

Kazuya U. Kobayashi, Pradipto, Yoshiyuki Tagawa

We investigated the formation of granular focused jets defined as narrow upward ejections of grains triggered by impulsive forces and shaped by kinematic focusing on a concave free…

Effect of converging shape of container on the velocity of impact-induced focused liquid jet

Hiroya Watanabe, Hiroaki Kusuno, Yoshiyuki Tagawa

We investigated the effect of container shape on the behavior of the impact-induced focused liquid jets by dropping a converging-shaped container (e.g., Kjeldahl flask) partially f…

Stress field in the vicinity of a bubble/sphere moving in a dilute surfactant solution

Hiroaki Kusuno, Yoshiyuki Tagawa

In this study, we experimentally investigate the stress field around a bubble rising in a dilute surfactant solution (20 < Re < 220, high Peclet numbers) whose surface gradually be…

A phase diagram of the pinch-off behavior of impulsively-induced viscoelastic liquid jets

Asuka Hosokawa, Kyota Kamamoto, Hiroya Watanabe +3

In this study, we systematically investigate the behaviors of viscoelastic liquid jets using an impulsive force, particularly in the high velocity and high elasticity regimes. The…
